Whether it is about handling your German beer mugs or taking care of your prized wedding beer stein collection, these brilliantly ornamented and adorned pieces need the highest levels of dexterity and concern. The various aspects of cleansing and proper display of these objects of vanity are discussed below:

Appropriate displaying of beer steins
If you are planning to exhibit your exquisite German beer mugs stoneware, then the best ways of warding off their aging process is by placing them with their lids closed. This prevents the oxidation of the interior surface of the mugs-- which in turn leads to staining and discoloration. In comparison, open lid exhibits are prone to damage and start looking weathered and old over a period of time.

The role of vacuum sealed containers
Steins are artificial in nature and tend to age over time. Safeguarding them with vacuum sealed covers helps in achieving a spotless and scratch free look and alleviates the process of oxidation; which leads to aging.

Avoiding consumption of beer from steins
Beer connoisseurs love to exhibit their steins and drink ...
... from the same too. Drinking from German steins or wedding beer mugs may lead to the piece getting stained or damaged. It is difficult to clean and take care of a previously damaged stein and thus it is advisable to avoid drinking from your priceless steins.

Do not wash beer steins in a dishwasher
Dishwashers are best avoided. Beer steins washed in a domestic dishwasher are exposed to a constant flow of heat which leads to excessive drying, development of hair line cracks and splits. The contraction and expansion factors exhibited by stoneware steins, wedding beer steins or pewter steins are different and can be harmed by using the general cleansing and rinsing features of dishwashers.

The process of cleaning by hand:
Lining the sink: Place a thick rubber sheet on the base of the sink, in which you desire to hand wash your beer steins. The sides of the washing area should also be covered for added protection. This averts the chances of harsh contact with the sides of the basin and keeps the steins free from dents and scratches.

Use mild detergent and lukewarm water: The rubber creased wash basin or container is filled with lukewarm water, with a mild detergent to act as the cleanser. Hot water can lead to irregular expansion of the interiors of the stein, which may lead to cracks or breakage.

Wash one at a time: The hard surface of the beer steins can cause damage to each other. Wash one at a time and avoid any type of contact with the other pieces. A squashy sponge can be used to clean the glass steins while a toothbrush is best suited for the ceramic ones. Soak the steins in the soapy water for five minute and then rinse clean with fresh water.

Air dry: The beer steins should be air dried after the cleansing process. Exhibiting them with their lids closed, evades the possible chances of fungal growth or discoloration on the inside of the mugs.

A proper care and maintenance regime helps in the conservation of your priceless possessions for the future generation and makes them look as good as new—for a much longer time.
